    Panicked people do irrational things, like attempt to live in the past or to live out of bad religion. Panic can be dealt with only by trusting God and living in integrity. Luther’s Reformation is a prime illustration.

    Children are not the only ones who are afraid of the dark. You do not have to be a child to be subject to irrational, unreasoning fears, fears that take you over and leave you breathless. Children may be afraid of dark rooms and of monsters under the bed, but the rest of us also panic. Don’t tell ...read more

    In today’s lesson we see spiritual low point of Saul’s life when he reaches out to the occult for spiritual direction, and we learn from the lesson that God’s faithful people never turn in that direction.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of two brothers, from a small town, who, over the course of many years, cheated, swindled, robbed and generally stole from everyone that they ever did business with. 1. The entire town and surrounding community reviled and despised these two brothers as everyone ...read more

    What’s wrong with a visit to a psychic? A "harmless" game of Ouija? A look at my horoscope to see how my day is going to turn out?

    OPEN: A woman went to the local psychic in hopes of contacting her dearly departed grandmother. The psychic’s eyelids began to fluttering and she began to moan and eventually, a voice came, saying, "Granddaughter? Are you there?" The granddaughter, wide-eyed responded, "Grandma? Is that you?" ...read more

    What happened to Saul? He did his own thing, he loved self-glorification, he became even more prideful and he thought he was the ultimate King. (Wasn’t about God)

    The Art of Letting Go 1 Samuel 28:6-7,13-17NLT He asked the Lord what he should do, but the Lord refused to answer him, either by dreams or by sacred lots or by the prophets. 7 Saul then said to his advisers, “Find a woman who is a medium, so I can go and ask her what to ...read more

    sooner or later, a person will pay the consequences of sinning against God!

    Have you heard of the saying, “There are no atheists in foxholes!”? When people are facing death, there is a tendency to ask God for help! We will note this today in our passage. Early in our study of 1 Samuel, even though Israel were God’s Chosen People, they wanted a king like ...read more

    There are consequences when a child of God attempts to practise the pagan arts. Saul paid an awful price for his disobedience, even dragging many others into judgement.

    “In those days the Philistines gathered their troops for war in order to fight Israel. Achish said to David, ‘You should fully understand that you and your men must go with me into the battle.’ David replied to Achish, ‘That being the case, you will come to know what your ...read more

    Are things like horoscopes and astrology ok? Are things like Ouija boards and holding séances just harmless fun? What does God think about psychics and fortune tellers? Let's find out.

    PSYCHIC NOT-LINE I watched a crime show recently that featured a palm reader who was taking advantage of people and manipulating them out of their money. In one case she ended up getting over a million dollars from this elderly woman. It's sad. But unfortunately it's not uncommon for ...read more

    This message takes a somewhat detailed look at First Samuel 28, the record of King Saul's interaction with the woman who has a familiar spirit.

    In 1978 or 1979, I was told about family members driving to Nashville – I’m from Tennessee – to see a lady because there were things going on in their lives that they didn’t understand. They had been praying but it seemed to them that God was silent. So they went to see this lady, who shared some ...read more

    When you rebel against God, you bear the consequences. Unbelievably, here is King Saul with so much potential in the beginning now bowing down to a foul spirit, but he will not bow down to God. This is a message for young people as well as the adults.

    SERIES: DAVID - A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART: PART 10: SAUL AND THE WITCH OF ENDOR 1 SAMUEL 28: 3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah.

    There are a lot of strange stories in the Bible. But, like everything else, they are God-breathed and profitable (2 Timothy 3:16-17). What can we learn from the strange story of Saul and the witch of En-Dor?

    The supernatural doesn’t exist for a Christian. It’s all normal and to be expected. Do you access it in your daily life or do you ignore it for what you can see and touch?

    Last week we began a new teaching series around the supernatural. We discussed the idea that Jesus' presence and works 2000 years ago represent an orderly working of the world many don’t recognise nor do they understand, so they call the events - supernatural. But are they? One magician ...read more

    First Samuel 28:3-25 shows us the final hopelessness of a person who continually disobeys God.

    Scripture We concluded our study last time at 1 Samuel 28:2, where Achish decided that the Philistines were going to war against Israel, and he made David his bodyguard for life. Then, 1 Samuel 28:3 begins the incident about Saul and medium of En-dor. The geography indicates that the author of ...read more
